Patient Care Technician Interview Question:

Tell me what are the job limitations of a patient care technician?

PCT are technicians, so they cannot provide analysis of disease. They may feel that they know it all (and most times, they do it all because of the many instances where they have been exposed to specific similar incidents) but they are not at liberty to diagnose anything. Furthermore, PCTs cannot administer medication (in most cases) unless it is oral medication and that too on the specific instructions of the nurse manager or doctor.
